A: This unusual station not only offers gas without ethanol, Richard, but the gas it sells is advertised as having been secured and refined exclusively in North America. As far as I can tell, neither product is available elsewhere in the Lehigh Valley.
Moyer Energy of Kutztown, which also offers heating, air-conditioning and plumbing services, bought the shuttered former Sunoco station and opened it under the Amerigreen banner in January 2010, according to Steve Moyer, president of the family-owned business.
The company long has been interested in energy conservation, alternative fuels and American energy independence — Moyer said his father sold solar panels in the '70s — and hooked up with Amerigreen, a fuels distributor from Lancaster that steers in a similar direction.
Before we get to the no-ethanol issue, Amerigreen's commitment to providing North American gas is interesting in itself. As recounted on the company's website, one of the founders had a soldier friend injured in the Afghanistan war, and the incident prompted the dealer to find a way to avoid selling products that derive from countries unfriendly to ours.
It's not that every drop of gasoline sold at Amerigreen stations comes from North American earth and was refined on the continent, according to the company's Doug May. That's a difficult or impossible product to provide, because fuels from different suppliers are commingled in the same pipelines and storage terminals, he said. It's like mixing two Kool-Aid flavors in the same pitcher; you can't separate them afterward.
Rather, May said, the Amerigreen model is similar to that of electricity distribution, where customers can choose to pay suppliers who generate from sustainable sources like wind and solar, even though all the juice comes from the same grid. Amerigreen customers' money goes to companies that drill and/or refine only in the United States, Canada or Mexico. Basically, they contract with suppliers who source from North America. "We have that paper trail [indicating] that the money goes to suppliers who have drilled and refined here in North America," May said. He couldn't identify those companies.
Guy Caruso of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a former administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, wasn't familiar with Amerigreen, but said that while "I guess it's possible" to ensure that money spent at a certain gas station goes exclusively to North American providers, it would be difficult. Among other problems, "It's very difficult to know where a refinery's feed stock even comes from," Caruso said.
Even if paying exclusively for North American fuel can't be guaranteed, I like Amerigreen's concept. At least they're making an effort to help map a course to Lower Reliance Road, and May insisted it's a sincere one. Amerigreen's founders "really do have a mission that America should have energy freedom," he said. "That's part of our mission statement; that's extremely important to us." He said the company is lobbying for a federal law requiring the source of gasoline to be posted on every pump, like the "Made in …" labels on many consumer products.
Moyer said his company was the first in Pennsylvania to blend and sell bio-diesel for home heating oil, so it was a smooth connection hitching his trailer to Amerigreen as fuels supplier. "They were in the forefront in alternative fuels," he said.
Moyer is unaware of any other Amerigreen station selling pure gas among the company's 50 or so locations, mostly in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Customer demand is strong, he said, chiefly because users get better mileage, and because many believe that ethanol can damage engines, particularly small engines such as those used to power lawn mowers, chain saws and other equipment.
On April 25, Moyer said it cost him 15 cents a gallon more for pure gas, and that he passes some of that on to the customer. "We pass along what we have to to survive," he said. "Right now we're 9 cents above the station down the street," comparing his pure-gas price with the competitor's ethanol mix. The pure-gas mileage gain — customers claim significant improvements — can make up for some or all of that, he said.
Ethanol yields about 30 percent less energy than gasoline, but with only a 10 percent mix, the mileage loss should be a paltry 3 percent. With ethanol gas hovering around $3.85 a gallon, 9 cents represents a price penalty of just 2.3 percent, so it's a close race. Some motorists give pure gas the green flag because they're convinced 10 percent ethanol slashes mileage by far more than 3 percent, and over concern about poor engine performance and engine damage.
Moyer's product caters to that market, and he said pure-gas sales are strong despite the added cost. Customers tell him they go out of their way to fill up with pure gas. For example, some college parents try to make sure their tanks are relatively empty when the come to Kutztown to visit their kids, so they can take advantage of the scarce commodity.
For most Valley residents in search of pure gas — and there are many, according to the traffic flowing into my email garage — Kutztown is a bit far to go. The commute would offset the fuel-mileage gain, maybe completely.
But if you really want pure gas, better get it soon, because there's no guarantee of its continued availability. Moyer's supply was interrupted from April 2011 until February of this year, when it returned to the station at 110 E. Main St. Some day the flow of pure gas could be shut off for good.

It is rare after looking at a piece of art that I feel compelled to return to it, not just once but time and again. Such was the case with Ignacio Canales Aracil , a Spanish sculptor, who wanted to share his work with me. To say I was awed by what I saw would be an understatement. The photos below are part of a series called Fragility of Time; the sculptures are made with flowers and plants. I urge you to check out Ignacio's website; it is rich and displays his wide range of talent.
Below is Ignaico's description of his thoughts, the actual process of how he goes about making these delicate sculptures and the emotional impact that working with them has had on him. I am thrilled to introduce you to this talented sculptor. Fran Sorin
"The sculptures are made with flowers and plants from different gardens and
nurseries that work in collaboration with me. They allowed me to cut their
flowers and work on their premises while choosing, pressing and drying the
flowers. The sculpture number 1 in the picture has been made with flowers
from Wild About Flowers Nursery in Devon. Sculpture #2's flowers are from Pembroke-Lodge in Richmond Park (Royal Parks). I have collaborated also with The London Garden Museum.

PARIS, Dec 1 (AFP) - British driver Andy Wallace - a former winner - will be in the cockpit when Cadillac, under parent company General Motors, launch their return to the Le Mans 24 hour race, it was revealed Wednesday. Team leader Herb Fischel was in the French capital Wednesday on a promotional tour for the team, which is returning to high-profile European competition. Fischel said: "We chose the Le Mans 24-hour race to develop our brand in markets outside the United States. That's why we are delighted to have Andy Wallace in our team of drivers." Wallace won the Le Mans race in 1988 and has also triumphed in several other endurance taces such as the Sebring 12 hour race and the Daytona 24 hour race. Fischel added: "A driver does not win so many races by accident so we are very happy to have him on board." Cadillac will have four cars in competition in all. Two will be run directly by the team with Andy Wallace driving the Northstar Le Mans LMP1 and also South African-born American Wayne Taylor and Italian Max Angelelli in the driving pool. Two more will be placed with French stable DAMS-Motorola, who have previously raced with Panoz and Lola in endurance races. Jean-Paul Driot, director of DAMS-Motorola, said that the agreement signed Tuesday evening was a recognition of his company's ability. Driot said: "To put on the track the cars of a constructor like General Motors is a great honour which reflects on our stable but it is also an undertaking that must not fail." Driot named the two French drivers as Jean-Marc Gounon and Eric Bernard. The other drivers engaged to pilot the four Cadillacs, which will have Pirelli tyres, will be announced at a later date.

My father uses the website PCHGAMES.COM, daily. He loves to play bingo. Earlier this week Flash Player updates itself and now PCHGAMES.COM, bingo will not play. It would let you chose which room to go to, and play the movie before the game, but when it gets to loading the room and chose the bingo cards all you get is a RED X. After coming over to see what the issue was, and following all solutions on Flash Player games, video, or audio don't work | Windows page... The only solution that works is #7. Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration. Once I followed these instructions, the bingo game played fine as long as he did not leave that page or window. If he got bored and went to play another game and then came back to bingo it would not work again. Then I would have to come back over and do #7. Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration, except this time it would be checking the box and Enable Flash Player hardware acceleration. My father is disabled and doesn't understand why all of a sudden bingo will not work when it has been fine for 3 years.
Currently his computer is using Windows Vista (32-bit), using IE Version 9.0.8112.16421, with Flash Player Version 18.104.22.168
Is there any way to fix this other than having to come back to Adobe's site and enable or disable this checkbox every time he wants to play bingo?
What is that computer's display adapter, device driver version & date (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)?
It was a good try...But still didn't help. Went through Intel and they pointed me back to HP.
|Product Detected
|Intel® G33/G31
|Current Driver Installed
|A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.
HP then scanned through and told me that this was the latest Diver (18.104.22.1681)
So therefore in theory, it is up to date.
Any other ideas??
If you can run PCHgames in Firefox or Chrome, then your problem is an Internet Explorer problem. You can also go to Candystand and see if you play their games in IE. Candystand is a PCH gaming site too. If you can play those games in IE, then you know it is not a video driver issue.
In my experience, resetting IE (any version) to its default settings usually fixes this type of problem with flash, IE, and PCHGames. I know that Microsoft sent out some updates this week, as did Adobe, and I am sure some commonly used add-ons had updates as well. They tend to bump heads, such updates - Especially when they all come in during a short period of time.
Tools, Internet options, advanced, reset Internet Explorer settings (while keeping all personal data). Close the browser, and open it back up.
Hope this helps!
LW327, this is an issue that really annoys me! Laptop manufacturers produce their own 'custom' drivers that are actually, in most cases, exactly the same as generic drivers, except often years out of date! If there are actually any differences, then it's a few hooks into manufacturer installed programs, so installing a generic driver may, in the worst case, only cut down on some functionality with associated OEM supplied software.
There are 2 ways around your problem to install the newest Intel driver:-
1) Download the newest driver from Intel. Uninstall your current driver, reboot, and manually install the Intel one.
2) Download the zip version of the Intel driver. Unzip it to a directory, then update your driver by picking the location where you unpacked the archive. This allows any checks that may scupper an install over the top of a custom driver to be avoided.
Once you have the latest Intel driver installed, you'll get updates via Microsoft Update. There again, I just checked the Intel website and the latest G31/33 driver is dated May 2009, so installing it probably wont make any difference to your predicament. There again, the real issue here is that flash is messed up!

Korb Represents Crusaders on Academic All-League Squad
Thursday, July 16, 2009
Valparaiso outfielder Karen Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran) represented the Crusaders on the 2009 Horizon League Academic All-League softball team. It marked the second straight season that Korb received the league academic honors.
Korb closed out her career on the field as Valpo's career record holder in runs scored (104), stolen bases (100) and sacrifice bunts (52), and finished fourth in Crusader history with 152 career hits. This past season, the Second Team All-Horizon League selection hit .331 out of the leadoff spot for Valpo, setting a new single-season school record with 35 stolen bases and is among the top-ten in the nation in steals/game. She also scored 44 runs on the season, second-most in a single campaign in program history.

Emergency Management
North Shore-LIJ Health System's ability to react to any emergency depends upon its willingness to act in a consolidated and coordinator manner. The health system's Emergency Management program is responsible for that organized effort to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from an emergency or disaster. The goal of the program is to reduce the loss of life and property and protect our institutions from natural, technological, and man-made hazards.
The intent of the Emergency Management program is to ensure that all North Shore-LIJ sites maintain a safe and effective environment of care. This program continues to strengthen the four basic phases of comprehensive emergency management in and out of the health system:
- Mitigation
Mitigation refers to the activities that actually eliminate or reduce the chance of occurrence or the effects of a disaster within a health system facility.
- Preparedness
Preparedness is planning how the health system will respond in case a disaster or emergency occurs and working to increase the resources available within the system to respond effectively.
- Response
Response activities occur during and immediately following a disaster. These activities are designed to provide emergency assistance to facilities, victims or the community to reduce the likelihood of further impact from the event.
- Recovery
Recovery is assisting the facilities return to normal operating activities.
Emergency Operations Center
The North Shore-LIJ Emergency Operations Center is a robust facility furnished with the most up-to-date technology to support hospital preparedness, planning and response. Our Emergency Operations Center has been used during severe weather and national incidents, as well as for local events. The facility incorporates both security and situational awareness and is responsible for approximately 46,000 employees and 16 hospitals.Back to Top

Obama has NEVER been open to other's ideas, otherwise he would not have had to resort to "Executive Orders" rather then the normal. Constitutional process through congress. Keep drinking the Democrat, liberal Koolaid, and in time those of you who do, will end up by your own hand like the cult followers in Jonestown. "

Statement from President Milliken regarding Initiative 424University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken has issued this statement on Initiative 424:
The passage of Initiative 424 will change the law in Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska will, of course, comply with the law. At the same time, we remain committed to increasing opportunity and diversity on our campuses. The Board of Regents has spoken clearly on its commitment to these goals, and we believe that commitment is widely shared by Nebraskans.
We will undertake a review of our programs and initiatives and make changes we believe are required. And we will continue to do all we can, consistent with federal and state law, to extend access to the University as broadly as possible, to encourage under-represented populations to participate in higher education, and to continue to provide educational and economic opportunity to Nebraskans.

-Anchorage (Seward), Alaska
-Cruising Hubbard Glacier
-Skagway, Alaska
-Juneau, Alaska
-Sitka, Alaska
-Prince Rupert, Canada
-Cruise the Inside Passage
-Vancouver, Canada
The port of Prince Rupert is the largest community on British Columbia's north coast. Deep-green fjords and coastal rain forest surround this quaint fishing town, located on Kaien Island at the mouth of the Skeena River, where the Tsimshian people have been for thousands of years. Prince Rupert was, at the time of its incorporation in 1910, poised to rival Vancouver as a center for trans-pacific trade. Prince Rupert turned instead to fishing and forestry.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating culture of the Tsimshian native people by watching a performance of traditional dances, songs and storytelling.
From the pier, it's a 20-minute walk from the ship to the Performance Longhouse near the Museum of Northern British Columbia. Here, you will enjoy a show of authentic stories and songs that have been passed down from generation to generation of the Tsimshian, a First Nations people. Oral history is one of the most important and valued ways that the Tsimshian elders impart knowledge and history to the younger generations.
The show may include a mask dance, in which the performers wear a mask or headdress that depicts an animal such as a wolf or a supernatural spirit known as a naxnox. Perhaps you will hear a tale about why the killer whale clan is represented by a grizzly bear crest. Another common subject matter is fishing, and you may learn how the Tsimshian spent their summers netting salmon and eulachon, also known as candlefish because their oily flesh will burn like a candle when dried. Whichever performances you are treated to, they each colorfully showcase the many facets of the Tsimshian culture.
Following the performance, you are free to either walk directly back to the ship, or visit the Museum of Northern British Columbia and browse its collection of art, artifacts, jewelry and books. It's an excellent way to understand even more about the area and its people. Those who return directly to the ship after the performance can make use of their complimentary admission to the Museum later in the day.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 1 hour of easy to moderate walking/standing. There is an incline to negotiate to reach the Museum and the longhouse. The tour is available to wheelchair guests with non-motorized wheelchairs only. No guides or service animals are permitted in the Museum. A Museum staff member may be requested in advance for visually impaired guests. Warm, layered clothing; waterproof jacket and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Terms & Conditions:
Free Unlimited Shore Excursions are for full fare guests only, capacity controlled and subject to availability. Requested excursions may not be available at time of booking. Supplement will apply on Regent Choice excursions (indicated by the above) and excludes Private Arrangements and all Adventures Ashore programs. In order to ensure quality guides and sufficient transportation, we must provide the tour operator with passenger counts at least 36 hours in advance. Therefore no refunds will be given within 36 hours of tour departure for cancellations or no-shows. Please pay special attention to scheduling and tour lengths when booking your shore excursions. In many cases, it is not possible to participate in more than one tour per day in a given port. Tour Departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Tours operate rain or shine. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions. Tours require minimum participation levels to operate so please sign up as early as possible. Tours may be cancelled if minimum participation levels are not met. Prices, Itineraries and General Information shore excursion prices are subject to change to meet unexpected cost increases or currency fluctuations. Please consult the Destination Services Desk onboard for information. During local or national holidays, access to certain facilities (such as museums or archaeological sites) may be limited or denied. In such instances, adjustments will be made to minimize inconvenience to guests. Some tours have limited availability. Tours are generally available for reserving 180 days prior to the beginning of a cruise. Please sign up early to avoid disappointment. Regent Seven Seas Cruises reserves the right to require guests to complete a liability waiver for select shore excursions. For more information, please visit the Destination Services Desk onboard.
Please have a preferred travel agency partner contact me about this cruise.

Comments about Maurices Vintage Dark Wash Straight Jeans:
I bought these because I like the look of a straight leg jeans but I hate how tight skinny jeans are. Calling them dark wash seems kind of misleading. There really isn't anything dark about these jeans due to the distressing. I still like the look though. My only complaint is that these, like almost all of Maurice's bottoms, stretch out as the day goes by. I should have bought a size smaller, oh well. They seem to wash well and nothing has fallen off of them so I guess that's a good sign! Overall, I like 'em :)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Uses
Comments about Maurices Vintage Dark Wash Straight Jeans:
These jeans look great on, but I take issue with some of the description. They are called "dark wash" but there is so much distressing that overall they seem more of a medium finish to me. They are distressed just enough to look worn in and feel comfortable, but not look like they are going to fall apart like some vintage style jeans out there. I also think calling them "medium rise" is quite generous. These fit much lower than all the other medium rise jeans from Maurices, especially in the back. They are flattering, but I will always wear them with a longer shirt so I don't flash anyone. The back pockets also sit very low. I think it makes my rear end look perkier, but the bottom of the pockets are actually on my upper legs and it feels kind of strange when I walk.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The colors matched my wedding colors perfectly. The magnet was printed with a beautiful gloss and it was of high quality
A Modern Monogram Save the Date Magnets I was very impressed with my order. I never write reviews but after I received my "Save the date" magnets I felt compelled to write. Besides the magnets being beautiful and exceeding my expectations they arrived in a beautiful well packed box. Everything was covered in clear plastic to keep the contents clean.

Great save the dates!
A Modern Monogram Save the Date Magnets These save the dates are amazing! It was great to be able to customize them myself to get the exact look I wanted. The quality was better than I expected.
Great magnet
A Modern Monogram Save the Date Magnets After getting a couple samples i would say use this size. We made the letters and borders black and the backround white. It looks very formal. We recommend making the 3 initials to whatever size and font fits best and evenly especially since the center letter is larger. Aslo, make your full names are the largest you can fit in the allowed space/box. You can manually type in the font size until its the largest it can be. Ours look great and we got a lot of comments on them.
Great magnet!
A Modern Monogram Save the Date Magnets My fiancé and I love our magnets. I would suggest making the font bigger on the name line.

Adorable Love the flip flops, but they run really short. I normally wear a 6.5-7 and ordered a 7 and the flip flops are a bit on the short side. Really like the fact that the straps are tight against my feet, so that they are not as sloppy as most flip flops. April 10, 2014
Cute Thongs I purchased the teal flip flops to go with the teal malia cardigan sweater. As with most flip flops, they are not the most comfortable walking shoe - but fashion, before function, right? I wear these around the house and for quick trips to the store. I like the shoes and the little pineapple accent. Notice that the straps extend a little farther back than most flip flops. Your foot actual rests on the back of the strap, and some people may find this uncomfortable. July 15, 2013
Sophisticated flip flop Comfortable and well made. They do run a bit short. I love the pineapple. June 17, 2013
These flip flops are fun and comfortable. Great flip flops. I took them on a recent cruise and the little pineapple decoration really dresses them up. Perfect for a day at the beach or with your favorite casual outfit. The turquoise color is beautiful. Definitely would recommend. I would suggest purchasing a 1/2 size bigger if possible.

Collins benched Vucevic in the playoffs the year before, having no use for him, then whines cuz he has 19 rebounds against him. Dougie, you should've played him, then mngt wouldn't have traded him. It's all on Collins, he got rid of Vucevic.
Sixers to hire Rockets' Sam Hinkie as new GM
The Sixers have agreed to hire Rockets executive vice president of basketball operations Sam Hinkie as their new general manager. Hinkie will replace Tony DiLeo.
Yahoo! Sports reports that the management shake-up, which comes a few weeks after coach Doug Collins stepped down, will also involve the expected retirement of president Rod Thorn. League sources have confirmed the agreement between the Sixers and Hinkie to SI.com.
Hinkie, a well-known figure in the advanced stats community, will become Philadelphia's third GM since July 2011, when the current ownership group, led by Joshua Harris, purchased the Sixers from Comcast-Spectacor. Harris immediately relieved then-GM Ed Stefanski of his duties and Thorn was left to serve as president, without a GM, during the 2011-12 lockout-shortened season. DiLeo was then promoted to GM in September 2012 after an extensive executive search.
SI.com reported last year that Hinkie was "seriously considered" for the GM position last fall before the Sixers opted to keep things in-house with DiLeo, who had worked for the team since 1990 and rose to the position of vice president. Collins also maintained an influential voice on personnel matters.
The Hinkie hiring represents a clear shift in approach for the franchise. Collins famously told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he would rather "blow his brains out" than read "20-page printouts" after games. Hinkie, on the other hand, is a regular attendee of the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference and has worked with Rockets GM Daryl Morey, who is synonymous with "Moneyball" and analytics in the NBA, for the past eight seasons.
"I'm probably pretty boring to watch a game with because I'm all about expected values," Hinkie told Rockets.com in a 2008 interview. "I don't even care if it goes in or not. I'm all about, 'Should it go in?' I can live with randomness. I mean, if it's a close game in the end, yeah, I'm just like anyone else. But I just want us to play the odds all the time."
Before joining the Rockets, Hinkie provided statistical analysis and advice to multiple NFL teams, spent time with a global strategy consulting firm and worked in private equity and venture capital.
It's understandable that Harris would want to change the direction of his front office after a disappointing 34-48 season that saw the franchise drop back into the draft lottery after back-to-back playoff trips. The 2012 blockbuster trade for center Andrew Bynum, who never suited up for a game because of ongoing knee injuries, hung over the organization all season.
Collins lamented the move during a charged postgame news conference in February.
"We made a huge deal. And we have nobody playing as part of that deal. How many teams can give up Andre Iguodala, Moe Harkless and Nik Vucevic, and have nothing in return playing? That's tough to overcome, right? That's just the facts. I'm not looking for any out. But that's the facts. Nik Vucevic had 19 rebounds tonight. Spencer [Hawes] had one. I think Lavoy [Allen] had two."
The Rockets, meanwhile, returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2009 this season, although they were eliminated in six games by the Thunder. Houston went 45-37, good for the West's No. 8 seed, and Morey finished third in the 2013 Executive of the Year voting after signing Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik and trading for All-Star James Harden.
Philadelphia has not yet replaced Collins as coach.

They had a slow start to the season, but the LA Kings are still the class of the league. No club in the NHL sports better possession metrics than LA and Jonathan Quick is slowing beginning to round back into form. Two guys who have begun to find the net more often for Los Angeles are Dustin Brown and Justin Willians, both of whom managed points in the win over Edmonton on Saturday afternoon. Brown in particular was snake-bitten to start the year, which he put down to playing in Europe during the lock-out to some degree, but with six points in his last seven games (and now 24 points in 38 games), Brown is again a decent fantasy option.
Another King to keep an eye on is young defender Slava Voynov. The 23-year old sophomore scored his fifth of the season against the Oilers and now leads the Los Angeles blueline in scoring with 23 points. Voynov was a big scorer in the AHL, managing 15 goals and 51 points in 76 games for the Manchester Monarchs back in 2010-11, so this is hardly out of character for the former second rounder. Since then, Voynov has grown into a capable all around defender for LA and only trails Drew Doughty in terms of average ice time per game (22:32). Look for his role and responsbility to grow in LA as he develops, which means his fantasy value will only grow.
Speaking of growing fantasy value, PK Subban with another two points at the time of writing and the game against the Bruins isn't even over yet. He's been fantasy gold this year.
The Carolina Hurricanes are being sunk by their goaltending. Cam Ward wasn't having a great season before being felled by injury, but his replacements have struggled even more. Veteran back-up Dan Ellis has been the de facto started since Ward went down (aside from a brief stint on IR himself) and he has lost five straight games, including a three goal on seven shot performance versus the Capitals on April fourth. The Canes are down by three to the Rangers at the end of the second period as I type this (three goals on 30 shots for NYR) and are watching their playoff aspirations evaporate right before their eyes.
Sticking with the Canes, it's still hard to believe how eager they were to get rid of the highly useful Jussi Jokinen. Carolina moved him for next to nothing to the Penguins at the deadline and even agreed to pick up part of his salary in the deal. Jokinen debuted for Pittsburgh on Friday night and displayed his utlity by scoring their lone goal in regulation and winning 87% of his face-offs. On top of all that, he scored the game winning goal in the shoot-out to boot. He was named the game's second star
I have no idea why Jokinen was ignored by the other GM's when he was available for free via waivers, nor why the Pens were able to acquire him for a song (when objectively worse players like Jarred Smithson at least garnered a mid-round pick) but the move was a savvy one by Ray Shero. My guess is Jokinen sticks with the Penguins, at least through next year which is the last one on his current contract. If that happens, and especially if his shooting percentage rebounds, he will be a worthwhile mid-round pick in next year's drafts.
How about Alex Ovechkin? the much maligned Capitals captain scored three goals and one assist in Washington's win over the Panthers yesterday. He now has 23 goals and 41 points on the year, good for second and seventh overall in the league, respectively. There's no question Ovechkin isn't as dominant as he once was - the debates about who is better between Alex and Sidney Crosby are all but over. His shot volume has fallen from a peak of 6.68 per game back in 2008-09 to about 4.42 this year. His possession stats have also cratered as Ovechkin has entered his late-20's. At one point, Alex was one of the best players in the league at keeping the puck in the offensive zone, but now he is entirely middling. This year, for example, he is actually marginally underwater in terms of corsi (-1.61/60), meaning the Capitals give up almost two shots at the net more per hour of his ice than they generate.
All that said, Ovechkin is still a very good fantasy option. He gets tons of ice time, typically plays with quality linemates (like Nicklas Backstrom) and can still put the puck in the net. He's not the 60-goal, 100+ point phemonon he once was, but that doesn't make him worthless.
I'm not sure anyone has noticed, but the Panthers Tomas Kopecky already has 15 goals after scoring against the Capitals last night. That matches his career high, which he garnered back in 2010-11 with the Blackhawks. It took him a full 81 games that season, though, rather than the mere 38 he did it in this year. Does that mean Kopecky has suddenly developed in a 30+ goal scorer in Florida?
Well, no. While Kopecky is is getting a lot of minutes on a young Florida squad, the real reason he's piling up the goals is an uncharacteristic shooting percentage of 18.1%. The only other time Kopecky has had a double digit SH% was 2009-10 when he scored 10 goals on 95 shots (10.5%). His career average is just 8.6%, less than half his current hot streak.
In short, don't bet on Tomas to sustain this long term.
The Flames lost 5-2 to the Canucks in the final game of the night yesterday, stretching their road losing streak to a franchise high 13 games. Ironically, Calgary actually outplayed Vancouver in aggregate, outshooting them 38-21 and grossly outchancing the Canucuks as well. The difference was Cory Schenider, who was brilliant, versus Miikka Kiprusoff, who was not. The Flames also hit three goal posts over the course of the evening.
In any other circumstances last night would have been a frustrating defeat for Calgary, but the truth is it the club needs losses more than wins for the rest of the year. To date, the Flames have never picked higher than sixth overall in the draft, but they are poised to pick third or fourth at the latest this upcoming June thanks to their on-going struggles. Good news for a team in such desperate need of young, elite talent.
Finally, it seems all the Rangers needed to start scoring was an aging power forward with zero goals. Since Ryane Clowe joined New York at the deadline, the team has scored 11 goals in three games, including last night's 4-1 victory over Carolina. Clowe has a goal and a three assists as a Ranger (and one fight to boot). This must mean Glen Sather is a genius, right?
Well, not really. The blueshirts were never as hapless offensively as they seemed - at the start of the week, they had a team-wide even strength shooting percentage of just 6.6%, the second lowest in the league (ahead of only San Jose by the way, which kills any speculation that Clowe is the reason the SH% turned around). There's almost no way that percentage was truly representative of the Rangers shooting talent, so pucks were bound to start going in a bit more frequently as a matter of chance.

The silver lining in the Calgary deadline talent purge may be thier improved drafting position rather than the mediocre return they got for Iggy and Jaybo, but I have little confidence in Feaster and co. drafting record. Not alot of top prospects for a team out of the playoff picture most years.
ultrawhiteness said:
as an example, stats guys were saying nearly the same thing about the kings last year well before it was apparent in the standings, way before the Carter acquisition.
nobody in that crowd was surprised when the Kings basically ran roughshod over everyone on route to the most dominant cup win in recent memory.

Tony Daniel knows. In a little under a week, so will you. The true identity of Gotham City's new crimelord is finally revealed in BATMAN #697 and that identity will surprise everybody – especially Batman. And after the final showdown between Black Mask and The Dark Knight, will things ever be the same for Kittyhawk and the Reaper?
The best thing about the co-features that's we've been doing is that we get to give characters and creators a chance to shine that schedules and availability might otherwise prevent. As the excellent Ravager feature in Teen Titans started to wind down, the need to find a new one with an entirely new voice arose.
Amidst Brainiac's assault on New Krypton, General Zod has brandished the Legion of Super-Heroes terrorists and imprisoned them. Superboy will do his best to free them, but he'll have to go through Supergirl first -- wait, what? You read right, folks. It's the Super-brawl you weren't expecting, courtesy of writer Sterling Gates and artist Jamal Igle.
SUPERGIRL #51 hits 3/17.
What happens when writers Greg Rucka and Eric Trautmann and artist Pere Perez pit a bruised and battered Nightwing and Flamebird against the reincarnated Kryptonian sun god Rao? Well, it won't be a pretty fight. My money's on the sun god.

Global Health Initiative and President's Malaria Initiative
|A health worker talks with pregnant women during a malaria awareness workshop at a health facility in Angola. Under PMI, malaria prevention and control activities have been implemented as part of integrated maternal and child health services. During antenatal clinic visits, pregnant women receive care for a broad range of health issues, including malaria.
Source: World Vision/Angola
Increase impact through strategic coordination and integrationMaternal and child health services
Under PMI, malaria prevention and control activities are being implemented as part of integrated maternal and child health services and make a significant contribution to strengthening the capacity to deliver those services. PMI also supports integrated management of childhood illness programs, implementation of community-case management (in which childhood pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea are diagnosed and treated by trained community health workers), and antenatal care programs, which include a comprehensive package of services for pregnant women during antenatal clinic visits. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are distributed principally through antenatal care and child health clinics or through integrated campaigns that include other interventions, such as vitamin A supplementation or vaccinations. Intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women is a key element of antenatal care, and antimalarial drugs are provided as part of antenatal and child health services. Under the GHI, PMI will work with ministries of health to involve their reproductive health and maternal and child health departments in the development of the annual PMI operational plans and promote closer working relationships between NMCPs and these departments on malaria-related activities.Coordination of malaria and HIV/AIDS service delivery
The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and PMI currently have 13 focus countries in common (Angola, DRC, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia). Successful collaborations between PMI and PEPFAR around ITN distribution campaigns, strengthening laboratory diagnostic services, and large-scale household surveys have already occurred, and opportunities will be sought to expand this collaboration during the next five years. In addition, PMI and PEPFAR will work to achieve the following:
- Increased integration of health system functions, including strengthening of pharmaceutical management systems, health management information systems, and laboratory diagnostic services
- The delivery, where appropriate and supportive country policies exist, of packages of community-based services that include both management of fever and HIV/AIDS prevention
- Increased integration of prevention of mother-to-child transmission, antenatal care, and malaria in pregnancy
Where applicable and cost-effective, PMI and PEPFAR will also work to integrate health system and service delivery efforts with other disease control programs such as tuberculosis and neglected tropical diseases.
